etiquette, superstition, ephemera

As we may have discussed here before, Happy Ham Syndrome is that phenomenon that afflicts depictions of pigs at places of business that sell pork and ham. The pigs suffering from this syndrome are always delighted to be at a place that serves cuts of them. Sometimes they are butchering themselves. Frankly, it’s horrifying.

So it is with great relief that I present the following tableau, that of a pig – when faced with the spectre of becoming a soft taco –

and pissing itself in terror.

I don’t even know what’s going on here, but it’s obviously not a good thing for our porcine buddy.

I applaud you, Appropriate Pig #2, for placing the appropriate gravity on your situation. I always heard that pigs were intelligent creatures.
